This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 9 - Chatting

The two chatted about the show, and as the evening deepened, it was time for dinner.

Mo Mo suggested they go to the show's cafeteria together for a meal to celebrate the birth of their duo, although the partnership might only last a week.

Wu Mu had no objections.

On the way to the cafeteria, Mo Mo glanced at Wu Mu's left wrist and curiously asked, "Wu Mu, do you like wearing a wrist guard? I saw you wearing it on stage earlier."

Wu Mu chuckled, "It's okay, I was busy and forgot to take it off after getting off the stage."

"Oh, I feel this black wrist guard doesn't quite suit you, Wu Mu. You should wear a light blue one..." Mo Mo started to suggest, then suddenly stopped.

She looked at Wu Mu's clean casual short-sleeve shirt and the faint scent of body wash emanating from him, feeling that something was off.

"...Wu Mu, do you not take off the wrist guard when you shower?"

Wu Mu's eyelids twitched, his expression unchanged, and he continued to chuckle, "It seems I took it off and put it back on, I kind of forgot."

"...I see."

Mo Mo walked a few steps forward, then hesitantly whispered in a stuttering voice, "You haven't, you know, done that, have you?"

Wu Mu really didn't expect that the Heavenly Queen would be so observant.

From such a small flaw, Mo Mo could guess whether he had attempted suicide.

Of course, he wore the wrist guard to cover the scars from cutting his wrists.

Although the wounds had healed, the scars would take some time to fade, and without covering them, they would be very noticeable.

Wu Mu played dumb, "That? Which 'that'?"

But the more he did so, the more Mo Mo seemed to confirm her guess.

She was visibly shaken, her mouth opening and closing several times, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere suddenly turned silent and heavy.

It wasn't until they reached the cafeteria, got their meals, and sat down facing each other that she sneaked a glance at Wu Mu's face and cautiously started, "Wu Mu, I think emotions aren't everything in life, they're just a part of it. We shouldn't take emotions too seriously."

Wu Mu nodded in agreement, "Indeed, only kids feel like the sky is falling when they lose a love."

Mo Mo didn't expect this reaction and paused before speaking, "Sometimes, the hurdles that seem insurmountable now might look trivial when you look back after some time."

Wu Mu agreed even more, nodding continuously, "Absolutely right, feeling like it's the end of the world when breaking a bowl at age two, feeling despondent just from being summoned by teachers during school, thinking about giving up treatment when you first fall sick and spend a few thousand as a new employee. Actually, when you truly grow up and think about it, it all seems laughable, such trivial matters."

Ah?

Mo Mo looked at Wu Mu, who seemed even more moved than she, and felt at a loss.

She said slightly annoyed, "Wu Mu, I'm being serious with you!"

Wu Mu looked at her curiously, "I am being serious too."

Mo Mo grew more frustrated, "If you understand all this, then why attempt suicide!?"

Wu Mu denied it, "Who attempted suicide?"

Mo Mo, infuriated, pointed at his wrist, "Take off your wrist guard!"

Wu Mu hid his wrist behind his back, "No."

"You!"

Mo Mo's cheeks puffed up, but she soon calmed down and again earnestly advised him.

"Before doing something foolish, calm down and think about other things and people in the world that you can't let go of, like your mother."

Wu Mu said, "My mom has passed away."

Mo Mo, "...Even if your mom is gone, she wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you from down there, and there's still your dad."

Wu Mu said, "My dad has passed away."

Though he hadn't really, but let's just say he had.

Mo Mo looked at him, cautiously trying, "Grandparents?"

Wu Mu spread his hands, "My grandparents have disowned me, oh right, including my maternal grandparents too."

He really killed the conversation that day.

The atmosphere became even heavier.

Mo Mo felt helpless and wanted to find some comforting words, but feared Wu Mu would respond, "That's dead, too."

She was so anxious that sweat was about to break out on her forehead, fearing that comforting him might inadvertently dredge up painful memories for Wu Mu and push him towards suicide.

Her reaction, however, ended up making Wu Mu laugh.

"Ha-ha, don't worry, I've come to terms with it."

He truly had accepted it. In fact, his parents had died back on Earth, but that was all long ago, and he had already grieved.

Mo Mo, "I'm sorry, Teacher Wu Mu, I didn't know about your situation. It was insensitive of me."

Wu Mu waved it off, "No, you spoke well, I agree with you."

Seeing that he didn't seem to take it to heart, Mo Mo breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She sincerely said, "No matter how dire the situation, don't rush to give up on yourself. Perhaps you could try setting aside the pain for now and just keep living. Maybe years later, when you look back..."

Wu Mu blinked his eyes, "Could there be anything more painful?"

"That you might realize the pain before wasn't so significant after all!" Mo Mo clenched her fists.

Seeing Wu Mu could still joke, she relaxed a bit.

The atmosphere lightened up again.

Mo Mo couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Did you attempt suicide because of that woman?"

Wu Mu firmly answered, "Of course not! I never attempted suicide!"

Mo Mo pouted, the duck insists it's alive even when it's dead.

She sighed, "So you were really in a relationship with her, huh?"

Wu Mu spread his hands, "Of course, like I said earlier."

Mo Mo being cynical, "I thought that was just an excuse you made to clear your name."

"I didn't expect you to actually be a victim."

She felt somewhat indignant for Wu Mu, realizing just how tragic his story was.

His parents had died, his grandparents didn't want him, he fell for a woman who turned out to be treacherous and harmed him profoundly.

The world seemed excessively cruel to him.

Mo Mo gently comforted, "Teacher Wu Mu, the world isn't always filled with bad things."

"Of course!"

I have my moments, better days are still ahead!

...

In the following days, Mo Mo was busy writing songs, occasionally calling Wu Mu out to discuss ideas.

But usually, she talked a lot and Wu Mu would support her, acting as a cheerleader.

Then the day the first episode aired, they gathered in the communal area.

Not just them, other contestants were there too.

Everyone was eager to see the exact editing of the first episode.

And on Weibo, Douyin, and other major social platforms, the news about the singer-songwriter show had already dominated the trending charts.

Everyone was discussing the upcoming release of "singer-songwriter" Season Three, Episode One.

Part of it was the marketing team buying trends, and part of it was genuinely high anticipation for the singer-songwriters!

The production team released a trailer of Wu Mu on stage denying he was a homewrecker; he claimed he was just in a normal relationship.

So many were curious to see how Wu Mu would explain it.

This was a continuation of some of the traffic from Wu Mu's collapsed reputation.

Also, with the raised expectations before the recording, numerous Anti-fans were likely hoping to see Wu Mu embarrass himself.
